Welcome to IGN's Videogame Hall of Fame, where we recognize what we consider to be the absolute pinnacle of videogame excellence. Induction into the Hall of Fame is the most prestigious honor given at IGN as only a handful of games out of the tens of thousands released will ever make it into these hallowed halls.
